Editorial Review

The upstairs looks like the dining deck of a well-appointed Japanese space station, with wavy wood rafters striating across the ceiling and a giant sculpture that will either entice or scare you. The downstairs lounge/bar area is sleek and black, with modular, low-lying orange furniture scattered about strategically. Start with "The Rock," a steaming black stone served at your table upon which you cook paper-thin slices of sirloin beef yourself.
